Budget

[David]

This is from IMDb:
"After the success of Iron Man Three (2013), Shane Black was approached by 20th Century Fox with an Iron Man 3-sized budget to direct a new Predator movie, and he couldn't resist."

Of course it wont be 200 M, but...it sounds very interesting

i bet it's like a 60 to 90 million budget movie

i bet it's like a 60 to 90 million budget movie

But that wouldn't be an iron man 3 sized budget then 

I keep saying that i read somewhere that it could be 150M... Which is really a lot of money for a predator movie, but hey i guess this is not a "classic" predator movie.

Iron Man 3 sized in terms of it being an event movie. Get Out was an event movie, IT was an event movie, The Last Jedi was an event movie. It's less about the budget and more about the film feeling special.

Deadpool was an event movie too! Had a budget of $58 million.

if this movie is 150 millions it will bomb at the box office

Yeah I doubt the budget even needs to be that high. 60 to 90 mill seems reasonable.

I hope it's more 90 million then, because 60 million was AVP's budget, and we all know how it turned out

[Stealth_Hunter]

Yeah closer to 90 would be better lol if it's around 60 I'm just going to hope they can pull a 'Deadpool' or 'Sicario' type of thing.

If you compare AVP to the lower budget AVPR and Predators you can see overall what a bigger budget does in terms of how a movie looks and feels. AVP looks better made and feels more like a bigger movie. AVPR and Predators look like lower budget movies.

Pretty sure the budget is 85 million.

I definitely could see it being between 60-80 million dollar budget. That's still the most money given to a director for any predator film.
Predator :18 million
Predator 2: 35 million
Predators: 40 million
As you can see however, a huge budget doesn't alway equate to a great movie. There are a huge number of factors that go into a great film such as the quality of the script, actors and story. From the little tidbits I've gleamed from different sources it sounds like many of us fans will be disappointed with the story.  You could have a 400 million dollar budget if the story sucks it's going to bomb!

Regardless of what you think of the film as a whole, AVP did look and feel like a bigger budget than it actually had.

The one mentioning sicario forget that Denis Villeneuve is a really talented director able to make the most from even the minimal of means.

No offense to any of the talent staring in the predator but there is no way that this movie is over 100 million. I think 60-90M as others have guessed is a reasonable range. with it being closer to the 60M number.

Now if they had to get Robert Downey Jr to make a cameo, we can talk 125M fairly easy.

[skull-splitter]

Just realised that P2 was done for about 35 milion, which in adjusted value is roughly 65 milion.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Well, like i said numerous time on the forum, i keep reading articles from my country that speaks about 150M... So either we are hugely optimistics, or hugely ignorant
